Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 169: A New Labyrinth (11)

Is this the gargoyle... sounds pretty strong...

A demon whose life dwelt in a stone statue that also appears in the story [the story of the hero Alexandrite].

I never thought I'd see the real thing like this when your mother was reading the book. The world is really strange, isn't it?

Dog-like face, long pointed teeth and sharply stretched nails.

It's a troublesome opponent to knock down inside that there are giant feathers growing on your back and that body is made of sturdy stone, isn't it?

Basically, a demon named Gargoyle never holds a weapon in his hand.

The weapon we hold… instead of swords and spears are sharp nails and sturdy fangs that can shatter anything. They will be used to attack and launch this attack with a sturdy body made of stone. They fly freely through the air with big wings growing on their backs.

An attack from the air, just this, makes the battle an advantage development for Gargoyle.

… What determines your superiority in combat is the compatibility of the enemy's abilities with your abilities.

No matter how strong an ability you had, it doesn't make sense if the other person doesn't bitter about that ability.

So what happens if you think about it with me and Gargoyle?

It is a very difficult opponent to fight because it does attack from the sky.

… but I have items that allow me to run freely through the air.

And that item is exactly what I am equipped with right now.

Yes, the Siersoulier I got in the Labyrinth of Power (Dungeon).

Name: Siersoulier

Agility: + 25

Class: Super

Attribute: Wind

Characteristics: Move SPD +3%

aerial walking

With this Siersourier, which is capable of walking in the air and has a breaking performance that increases travel speed by 3%, you can probably cross it quite a bit even if Gargoyle was your opponent.

And no matter what you say, I have [cut and paste].

As usual, take away Gargoyle's abilities and transform them into yourself.

... it has been the case in previous battles, but naturally it will be effective in the fight against Gargoyle.

That's why... well... let's take our skills first.

[Panic Demon Eye] That sounds like the most dangerous thing.

[Demon Eye of Panic]: Activated at whatever time you want on any one opponent.

The target audience with this skill has a chance to panic and lose movement for dozens of seconds.

That's an effect I saw somewhere, and I thought it was a degraded version of [King's Intimidation].

Is [King's Intimidation] a skill I don't really need because it gives me a complete state of panic due to the level difference with my opponent, and it works for more than one opponent?

[Paste] with your two daughters-in-law, that's just the right number.

Now, no matter how degraded the version is, this skill, which is similar to [the king's intimidation], is dangerous. If you fight multiple enemies like this one, if you eat this from a blind spot, it can be considered deadly.

Whatever, if I eat it, I won't be able to move for the last few decades.

In the meantime, you won't be able to use your defensive skills.

So [cut] this skill first.

But there are a lot of really troublesome things about race skills.

... It's really good to have increased the level of [appraisal/all].

Otherwise, I still can't confirm my pedigree skills and I think this Labyrinth (Dungeon) offense was a big struggle.

All right, go on, take [intrinsic magic/thunder], and the ability [sharp claws] is [cut] too.

... Speaking of which, this is the second time you have inherent magic.

You can expect [intrinsic magic/thunder] just because time and space were pretty special magic, too.

All right, I'm ready.

All you have to do is take down those four gargoyles.

The gargoyle that appears in [The Story of Hero Alexandrite] certainly didn't work the magic attack.

Fucking hell, are these guys the same?... Okay, let's give it a try.

[Range magic/windy] toward the gargoyle, unleashing.

The blade of wind flies for the integrated gargoyle as it winds up the sand and dust violently.

"What do you say!? You did it!

Heavy roaring sounds, like stories, can't seem to do any damage to Gargoyle.

"... as the story suggests"

... Then do I have to tap it directly?

Did you even get angry at me for eating a direct hit of magic?

Four gargoyles flew toward us in unison.

While calmly observing the situation, I equip myself with a lightning edge on my right hand and a steel dagger on my left hand to activate my physical strengthening system skills.

Remember to keep your defensive skills active at the same time as a one-to-four battle.

"Eat this guy, too!

Knock in the [Demon Eye of Shock] toward Gargoyle, which is at the head of the four bodies coming towards you. This guy's not a magic attack! You can shake their formation.

Gargoyle, who was flying the lead, collapses heavily with the sound of a dry impact, stopping the three impending paths from behind with his body.

"Now!!!

Though I fell apart, I didn't lose that momentum that was flying in.

I aim to half-bake a chunk of rock (gargoyle) into the momentum and tap [Martial Arts: Shark Grow] from the side. I guess it added strength to the opponent's momentum.

Gargoyle, who was just in the lead with the loud hitting noise, smashed and scattered.

... Here's one thing to be careful about.

Magic creatures like gargoyles and golems will revive over time if they do not destroy or isolate their nuclei (cores).

Quickly activate [Signal Detection/Greater] to find the scattered nucleus (core).

"I want to find it!

Grasp a spherical stone that emits a great deal of magic into your hand and throw it straight into a time-stopped storage bag. It seems like it can be used as a good alchemy material, so keep it isolated without destroying it.

"Not yet, while I'm not in shape!!

Grind the whole of the melting gargoyle again with [Martial Arts: Shark Glow].

"That's two more!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Phew, did you manage to take him down"

I crush all four gargoyles with [Martial Arts: Shark Glow] and collect the nucleus (core) so I don't forget.

... Something catches on.

From the itinerary to this point, Gargoyle was probably the boss on this B3 floor.

It was the drop item that got 4 Nuclei (Cores) that were missing but valuable magic creatures.

In a way, this has to be a drop item.

I was able to bring it down safely, but I forgot something... I feel that way.

Right, where did the Taylors go?!?

It's hard to think that I outran... from this hierarchy of tricks.

The fact that a gargoyle exists and has been attacked by me means that it has not even been defeated.

… and there is only one thing that can be considered.

Could it be that the Taylors lost to Gargoyle?
